Question on safety of mods right before tune

Hi All,

I've done a bit of reading before posting this, and its more of a sanity check than anything else but better safe than sorry.

My 2014 MR has about 1k miles and I plan to take it easy through the early spring. I'll get all the fluids changed and make sure its still running well then I'd like to have it tuned.

I'm planning to put on an ETS intake, test pipe, UICP, GS 3port, and Forge BPV. I've swapped the black relay for a blue one as well.

It sounds like I can put the intake testpipe, bpv and uicp on and flash stage 2 2 OTS from Cobb (will setup the tables for the intake myself per cobb's page). But my concern is with having the 3port on the car before my tune. I'll take it to the tuner within a week of having everything on and won't be going crazy with it either. Just want to make sure there isn't huge risk, otherwise I think my tuner can take care of the 3port and tune it on the dyno so I don't have to drive around with an unsafe setup. Thoughts? I don't want to make crazy power, just looking to sit safely at 300+ for a nice and fun daily.

The 3-port will cause you to overboost with the stock tune. It's such an easy thing to install I would just wait and install it at your tuner so they can make the necessary WGDC adjustments prior to hitting the dyno. If you're familiar with ATR, you could also install it on your own and reduce your WGDC targets while you change your MAF cal for the ETS.. If you need help, shoot me a PM and I can send you the changes that'll need to be made.

Thats what I was thinking, thanks for the offer.
